Cupcake Polish swatches

Cupcake Polish ~

Los Angeles: Pink linear holo
with blue flame

Chicago: Light purple
linear holo with blue and orange flame

New York: Sky blue linear holo

Warning! You might as well go get your retro aviator sunglasses right
away. This post is loaded with holo goodness: Cupcake Polish spam! I’ve got
three of them, and I’m going to show you all three in this same post. I know!
Whoa!!!, right?

The formula is the same in all three polishes: good and easy to apply.
It takes two coats to make the polishes opaque, and the drying time is really
good. Those observations apply to all three. Nice :)I didn’t apply
any topcoat before taking my pictures.

Let us commence with Los
Angeles, a pink linear holo. The holo flame is amazing
in this one, and it’s blue. Take a look:

The pictures are taken in the sunshine, yay!

Is this A-mazing, or what?

Here’s what Los Angeles
looks like in the shadows. The rainbows just wouldn’t go away! Tough to live
with I know *theatrical sigh*, but that’s just the way this polish is :D

I love Los Angeles for
sure!

Next one up is Chicago.
That’s also a linear holo, but a light purple one. The holo flame is blue and
orange and really cool. Again, two coats, quick drying time and no topcoat.
Here’s a sunshine picture:

The pics are taken in the sunshine. The holo effect is so strong that it
doesn’t let much of the original colour peek through.

It’s amazing in the sun.

When I bought this, I thought it was darker purple than it actually is.
Here’s what it looks like in the shadows:

This holo effect is really strong in low lights with Chicago as well, but I must admit that this
base colour isn’t my favourite. A very cool polish nonetheless.

Last one up is my real favourite of the bunch: New York. This is a sky blue linear holo.
Same good formula, same two coats, same great drying time, same niceness. Sweet
as! Here’s the Sunshine picture:

This is just crazy beautiful, right?

Are you wearing your retro Mustang pilot sunglasses yet?

And the mandatory low light picture:

I love New York
both in and out of the sunshine, so this is a true winner for me.

Overall verdict:
Really, really cool polishes. The linear holo effect is just crazy, and the
pigmentation of these polishes is simply excellent. Rumours have it that they’re
stainers, so you might want to consider wearing a good basecoat. I’ve heard
they’re great stampers too, but I haven’t tried that myself yet.
